TNF UNDERDOG
Always remember to check out the “home”tab on the Underdog app to see if there are any discounts to work to your advantage. There was a yardage slash on Mixon for TNF, and since I was going higher on his rushing anyway, knocking off 12.5 yards from the total seem like the proper move.
I’ve cooked up a 5.7x entry for TNF, and after losing the last three by one player, I’m hoping fortune favors me this time around. Also, if you’re new to Underdog, and use code MAYO when you sign up, you’ll get a CJ Stourd FREE PICK to replace the one in my entry!
TAIL THIS ENTRY (or fade) & Use code “MAYO” at underdog for a FREE PICK and deposit bonus up to $1000

Houston Texans at New York Jets (TNF)

Dallas Cowboys at Atlanta Falcons
Betting: Dallas has covered each of their past five road dome games, as well as the past three cashing under tickets.
Betting: The Falcons are just 1-4 ATS at home this season, and they were fortunate to get that one (Week 5’s comeback win over the Bucs in overtime as a 2.5-point favorite).
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills
Betting: Miami covered 13 of Tua Tagovailoa’s first 19 starts in November or later. They have been 5-9 ATS in such spots since, with three straight failures to cover (outscored 103-40 across those games).
